YOKE BUDS
A NEW DIMENSION OF MUSCLE GROWTH
For Beginners to Pros Who Want to Grow Maximally Just Training 3x / Week
Discover a disgustingly productive progressive overload approach
PROGRAMMING DETAILS:
- Full Body Training Split
- 3 days/week
- 45-60min sessions
- For Beginners to Advanced
If you want a full-body meso that pushes progress faster and more efficiently than ever, this one is it.
This is scientifically proven to be THE most effective overall split for gains.
WHY THIS CYCLE HITS HARDER:
- Refined over multiple mesos to be more productive, more progressive, and more efficient than ever.
- Built to deliver maximum stimulus with minimal fatigue — no wasted sets, no wasted time.
- Full-body structure has been sharpened across the past year to reflect what actually produces results.
- Movement selection, volume, and frequency are dialed in for faster, more meaningful progress.
- Introduces a new progressive overload model that gets you into heavy loading much sooner.
- Expect rapid progression — some sets may feel like “misloads” because the jumps come so fast.

JOE BENNETT (AKA: "The Hypertrophy Coach")“Paul has a gift for helping others get the most out of their training. Not only does he have a passion for investing huge amounts of time and effort into understanding research on all things hypertrophy, he combines that with real world practical and coaching experience to help others sort through the nonsense. If you’re looking for a trusted source about how to build, fine tune, and get the most out of your programing and effort to build muscle, Paul is your man!”
Gymdan - IFBB pro"Paul’s heart has been burning for training for decades, and it clearly shows when it comes to finding new ways to maximize muscle growth. The combination of many years of hands-on experience and the necessary scientific understanding of the latest data creates an explosive mix to move your training forward. The right plan, the right inputs, and the right support from Paul are the ideal way to stop wasting time and fully unlock your potential."
Sean Nalewanyj"I’ve known Paul for years, and in a space flooded with fake influencers and charlatans, he’s one of the rare coaches who truly knows his stuff and tells it like it is. No fluff or gimmicks, just real, evidence-based training advice that gets results. If you're serious about building muscle and cutting through the B.S, this is a guy you should be learning from."
Greg O'Gallagher"Paul Carter is one of the very few voices in fitness I genuinely trust and recommend. He consistently cuts through the noise by actually understanding the research and calling out the common misinterpretations that dominate the so-called evidence-based space. He’s a master at distilling what actually drives hypertrophy in the most effective way."
Alan Aragon“Paul Carter has not only directly helped me and influenced my own approach to training, he has helped countless others at all levels. Paul’s knowledge of the literature is beyond impressive, and his dedication to practical methods is as good as it gets.”
Fred “Biggie” Smalls - IFBB pro"Paul Carter’s programming fundamentally changed the trajectory of my career.I went from qualifying for the Olympia on points to winning two professional shows and earning my Olympia qualification as a champion.After just one season training under Paul’s direction, the narrative shifted—“Damn, Biggie got big.”I’m eternally grateful for the knowledge I’ve gained—and continue to gain—from Paul’s intelligent, deliberate, and masterful approach to training. His planning doesn’t just build physiques; it builds champions."
Eric Janicki - IFBB pro"Working through Paul’s content has fundamentally sharpened how I think about training — not just in theory, but in execution. One of the biggest takeaways has been a clear framework around max effective sets per session and per exercise. Learning where stimulus actually peaks, and where additional sets stop contributing meaningfully to growth, has made my training far more precise. Less junk volume, better recovery, better progress.Equally important has been refining my understanding of what truly drives hypertrophy. Paul’s emphasis on mechanical tension as the primary driver of growth, rather than chasing pump, soreness, or perceived damage, has reshaped how I select exercises, control tempo, and judge effort. My training is now built around creating and maintaining tension in the target tissue, not just feeling tired. Beyond the concepts themselves, Paul’s mentorship has influenced how I coach and train long-term. It’s reinforced the value of simplicity, restraint, and consistency — and the confidence to ignore noise when the fundamentals are already working. The result has been more productive training, clearer decision-making, and better outcomes both in my own physique and with the athletes I work with."
